DJ courses
The best way to learn DJing is right at the decks - with a DJ at your side who has been filling floors for 29 years and shows you how two tracks become a whole evening.

Learn to DJ
Beginner: You start from zero or have already tried a little on a controller. You learn the setup and signal path, bars and phrasing, beatmatching by ear, EQs and clean transitions. In the end you mix two tracks so that nobody on the dance floor loses the beat.
Intermediate: You already mix and want more than transitions. Now it is about set structure and energy curve, harmonic mixing, loops, hot cues and effects in moderation, music selection and a library where you can find the right track at two in the morning - and about reading the floor and re-planning on the spot.
Pro: You already play gigs and want to take the next step. He works with you on your sound and profile, on club technology and soundcheck, on warm-up, primetime and closing, on mix recordings for promo and on what promoters want to see: press kit, stage presence, reliability.
Producer: You want to build your own versions for your sets or release music yourself. You learn how to create stems and quickly build edits in Ableton Live with tight workflows: bootlegs, DJ-friendly versions with intro and outro, and your own intros. You mix them down so the club gets the right punch, learn the legal side - what you may play in a set and what you may release - and go through the path to release, from label and distribution to metadata.
